Bill
S 1950
The bill would restore full pensions to Delphi salaried retirees who lost benefits after the 2009 bankruptcy.
The Susan Muffley Act of 2025 (S.1950) is bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate on June 4, 2025, by Senator Jon Husted (R-OH). The bill aims to restore pensions for over 21,000 Delphi salaried retirees, including approximately 5,180 in Ohio, who had their benefits reduced or eliminated following Delphi's bankruptcy in 2009. The legislation seeks to provide financial relief by reinstating the full pension benefits these retirees were originally promised. (husted.senate.gov)
The Delphi salaried retirees were assured secure retirement benefits for their years of service. The reduction or elimination of these pensions has caused significant financial hardship for many individuals and their families. Restoring these benefits is crucial to uphold the integrity of retirement promises and provide justice to those who have been adversely affected by the bankruptcy proceedings. (kaptur.house.gov)

Precedent for Pension Restorations: Implementing this legislation could set a precedent for future pension restorations, potentially leading to increased claims from other affected groups.
Legal and Administrative Challenges: The process of reinstating pensions may involve complex legal and administrative procedures, potentially leading to delays and disputes.
Equity Considerations: Debates may arise regarding the fairness of allocating federal resources to restore pensions for a specific group of retirees, especially when other retirees have not received similar support.
